O Let The Joyful Tidings Fill The Wide Creation,
Heirs Of Redeeming Mercy Spread The News Around;
Jesus, Immanuel, Shall Rule O’er Every Nation,
Far As The Guilty Race Of Man Is Found.
Now While The Night Of Ages Fills The World With Sadness,
Now While The Prince Of Darkness Rages In His Madness;
O, Sun Of Righteousness, Thy Cheering Beams Display,
Dawn On The Earth, And Bring The Glorious Day!
O Father, Let Thy Blessing With Thy Saints Abounding,
Fill Every Breast With Zeal, The Gospel To Proclaim;
O Sing Jerusalem, Thy Gates With Joy Surrounding,
While Distant Isles Rejoice In Jesus’ Name.
Watchmen Of Zion, Sound Aloud The Note Of Warning,
Till Earth’s Benighted Nations Hail The Glorious Morning;
O, Sun Of Righteousness, Thy Cheering Beams Display,
Dawn On The Earth, And Bring The Glorious Day!
Deep Is The Desolation Of The Race Benighted
Fast Bound In Ignorance, Overwhelmed With Guilt And Fear;
Folly And Superstition Every Hope Have Blighted,
Save Where The Rays Of Truth Divine Appear.
Haste, Haste, Ye Messengers, Reveal The Wondrous Story,
Tell Of The Cross, And Of The Coming Tide Of Glory:
Then, Sun Of Righteousness, Thy Cheering Beams Display,
Dawn On The Earth, And Bring The Glorious Day.
